"In many school districts around the country, school boards have banned the works of Twain, pulled nude paintings from the classrooms and fought against the mature
discussion of reproductive health." "The Electronic Frontier Foundation has been established to help civilize the electronic frontier; to make it truly useful

society's highest traditions of the free and open flow of information and communication."

"This collection
of essays seeks to expand the parameters of the debate on pornography. In an
effort to move away from the divisive frameworks of which side are you on
and who counts as women worthy to be listened to in feminist debates on
pornography, this volume seeks to open a space for divergent points of view
(pro- and anti-pornography) from diverse socio-political contexts
(capitalist, post-socialist, post-colonial, post-apartheid) and from a wide
array of constituencies (activist, sex workers, academics) to address the
complexity of sexual material."

"Toronto, November 5, 1996 – The Ontario Provincial Police revealed that a 22 year-old Kirkland Lake man has been charged
following a Canada-U.S. probe of pedophiles on the Internet. About 30,000 computer files of containing child pornography were taken from his home, amounting to the largest seizure of child
pornography in North American history. Although the police have yet to investigate all the material taken in the raid, the computer
files contain text, still photos and movies of pre-pubescent children having sexual intercourse with adults, other children, and
animals."

mandate and works in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention."

"Our mission statement:
To empower concerned citizens and community leaders to significantly reduce sexual exploitation and violence in America by:

offering assistance to people whose lives pornography has harmed."

"Reducing the sexual victimization of children is our ultimate goal. We are addressing the issue of Internet
child pornography, not because it offends us or because we despise pedophiles, but because there is a
genuine, but difficult to prove, relationship between the distribution and social acceptance of child pornography
and the incidence of sexual abuse of children."

"Lord, you have called us to be guardians of all children founded on your principles. Whatever our tasks as defenders
of the "silent ones", we do them to serve You and our nation. We are proud to accept the responsibility of this high calling.

perversion and with dignity, in safety and peace."

"Congress is using a recently passed piece of legislation called The Communications Decency Act, which was
wrapped in the larger Telecommunications Reform Bill, to restrict our rights. The CDA would make it illegal to make

convicted, a person would be subject to fines of $200,000 and up to two years in
jail."
